Mastering Options Flow – BlackBoxAcademy

Mastering Options Flow is an intensive online program designed for traders who want to take their options trading skills to the next level. Created by Maria Chaudhry, a seasoned trader with over two decades of experience in institutional and retail markets, this course focuses on teaching students how to read, interpret, and act on institutional options flow in order to gain a consistent trading edge. The program combines advanced theory with real-world applications, providing a structured learning experience that replaces emotional decision-making with data-driven strategies.

Why Options Flow Matters

Options flow refers to the activity and orders placed by large institutions, hedge funds, and professional traders. Unlike retail traders, institutions often move the market with their enormous buying power. By learning how to spot these moves, traders can gain an advantage and align themselves with the “smart money.” This is the foundation of the Mastering Options Flow program — helping students understand not only what institutional traders are doing but also how to follow their lead strategically.

Retail traders often lose money because they lack access to the same level of insight and analysis that institutional players enjoy. However, with tools like BlackBoxStocks and the methods taught in this course, it becomes possible to decode institutional behavior and apply it directly in a trading plan. Instead of guessing or reacting emotionally, traders learn to anticipate moves with clarity and precision.

Who Is This Course For?

This program is not for beginners who are just learning what a call or put option is. It is specifically targeted toward intermediate and advanced traders who already have a basic understanding of options but struggle with:

• Finding consistent winning trades

• Knowing when to enter and exit positions

• Managing risk and account size effectively

• Falling into the trap of emotional trading

• Over-relying on alerts, social media hype, or unreliable sources

If you’ve ever felt frustrated because your trades look promising at first but end in losses, or if you’ve found yourself chasing alerts without truly understanding why you’re entering a trade, this program offers a proven solution.

Instructor Background – Maria Chaudhry

Maria Chaudhry is not just another trading coach. With over 20 years of experience working at top firms like Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and Scottrade, she has built her career around understanding institutional order flow. Maria has developed her own trading systems that consistently achieve a 70–80% success rate, and she brings that expertise directly into this course.

What sets Maria apart is her ability to break down complex topics into simple, actionable steps. She understands the struggles that traders face — hesitation, fear of losses, and confusion about strategies — and she provides clear frameworks to overcome them. Students not only learn the “what” and “how” of options flow trading but also gain the confidence to execute trades with discipline.

Course Structure and Format

Mastering Options Flow is structured as a 6-week training program. Each week focuses on different pillars of options flow trading, ensuring that students build a solid foundation before moving on to advanced techniques. While the exact weekly breakdown may vary, the general flow looks like this:

1. Week 1 – Understanding Institutional Options Flow: Introduction to the mechanics of institutional orders, block trades, and sweeps. Students learn to differentiate between retail and institutional activity.

2. Week 2 – Tools and Platforms: How to use platforms like BlackBoxStocks effectively. Setting up scanners, alerts, and filters to cut through the noise.

3. Week 3 – Identifying High-Probability Trades: Recognizing patterns, volume anomalies, and unusual activity that often precedes big market moves.

4. Week 4 – Timing and Execution: Strategies for entering trades at the right moment, avoiding FOMO, and maximizing risk-to-reward ratios.

5. Week 5 – Advanced Strategies: Contract selection (strike and expiration), managing theta decay, and combining technical analysis with flow data.

6. Week 6 – Building a Repeatable System: Creating a personalized trading playbook and ensuring consistency for long-term growth.

Throughout the program, Maria provides real-world examples, case studies, and practical exercises. This is not theory for the sake of theory — everything is designed to be actionable in live market conditions.

Key Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Spot Institutional Moves: Distinguish genuine institutional activity from noise and false signals.
